In a telepathic environment, history is based on facts, pure and indisputable facts.

Let's try a simplistic example. Spme people are standing around a tree in the forest. The tree falls to the ground. One is to the south, one to the north, one to the east an one to the west. The one to the east reports that the tree fell to his(or hers) right. The one reporting to the west reports that the tree fell to his (or hers, god how i hate pc) left. The one to the south reports that the tree fell away from them. The one to the north reports that the tree fell towards them. Please write the history of this event.

My [above] example was just what is was, a collection of facts. It wasn't right or wrong.
It was an example abouts facts from which history is written. That is all that history is, interpretation of fact. If you ignore any of the facts, you can slant history any way you wish to.
If I had written the history of the facts presented in the example I cited, I would have stated that 4 people saw a tree fall to the ground. The tree fell to the north. That is my interpretation of the facts which were at hand.

And your point is? Or are you simply stating that you do not possess the ability to comprehend?
